arXiv:2512.06166v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate the dimension dependence of Bramble--Pasciak--Xu~(BPX) preconditioners for simplicial $\mathbb{P}_1$ finite element discretizations of high-dimensional partial differential equations and establish that the condition numbers of BPX-preconditioned systems grow only polynomially with the spatial dimension. Our analysis requires a careful derivation of the dimension dependence of several fundamental tools in the theory of finite element methods, including elliptic regularity, the Bramble--Hilbert lemma, trace inequalities, and inverse inequalities. We further analyze an averaged Scott--Zhang-type quasi-interpolation operator, and show that its associated constants scale polynomially with the dimension. Building on these ingredients, we prove a multilevel norm equivalence theorem and derive a BPX preconditioner with explicit polynomial bounds on its dimensional dependence. The analysis is motivated in part by recent tensor and quantum finite element methods, where dimension-explicit conditioning estimates for BPX preconditioners play an important role.
